What
is the difference between you and a "wedding coordinator"?
I GIVE you the information that they charge you
for.
-
How
much is your package?
Four hundred dollars.
-
What does it include?
Everything you need to be legally married, in
a personalized way, in a gorgeous location. (Officiant, location,
witnesses, and certified copy of certifcate of marriage).
It also includes unlimited consultations with
Anne Marie and names, phone numbers, web sites of any needed vendors.
(Photographer, videographer, florist, musicians etc.)
-
Does the $400 include the marriage license?
No you pay that $100 to the court.
It does include the application which can be downloaded
from this site.
-
When should we pay you?
Mail a check today so that on your wedding day,
we can focus on the service and celebration. A personal check is
fine.
-
Is it legal?
Yes. This is America, and your marriage is recognized
worldwide. After your wedding, Anne Marie will file your paperwork
with the Superior Court and mail you a certified copy of your certificate
of marriage.
-
Are their location fees?
No I have already paid the site fees for you to
be married on any national park beach or sugar mill ruins. If you
want Anne Marie to come to your villa or sail boat for your wedding,
there is no additional fee.
-
How long do we have to be there before
we can get married?
You can pick up your marriage license the day
you arrive. The marriage license office is on the same highway as
the airport, on St. Thomas. Remember to mail your marriage license
application so the court has it for 8 days before you arrive.

-
How do we apply for marriage license?
Click here for
information.
- On
the marriage license application where it says "Parents Name"
what should we do?
Put your fathers name first and your mothers name
below it. Do "Place of Birth" the same way.
- On
the marriage license application what does "Related to other
Applicant" mean?
Are you related by blood to each other? I hope your
answer is no.
And where it says "In what degree?" write
not applicable
- What does "certified
copy of divorce decree" mean?
It means to phone the court where your divorce
was issued, and ask them to send you a certified copy (stamped with
the raised seal) of your divorce decree. This is not notarized,
it is certified.
- Do we sign
the marriage license application?
Yes
- Should we have
the marriage license application notarized?
No
Click
here for sample application.
- Do we have to
mail both forms - Application for Marriage License and License and
Certificate of Marriage?
Yes, type in and mail both forms.
- What is 8 day
posting requirement
The marriage license office wants your marriage license
application & all required paperwork at least 8 days before
you pick up the license.
- When should
we mail our marriage license application to the Superior Court?
I recommend one month before you plan to pick
up your license. The Court only needs to have your application for
eight days prior to issuing you the license but lets be on the safe
side.
- It's just the
two of us. Will you provide witnesses?
Yes
- What if it
rains?
You'll get married when it stops, under the rainbow.

we wear?
Anything you want.

advance do we need to book you?

us find a place to stay, photographer, videographer, florist, caterer,
etc. etc.?
Yes give me a call. 888-676-5701 toll-free. For
cell phone 340-626-4658
- Should we rent
a jeep?
Yes! You will have the freedom to explore and
really enjoy St. John. In the long run, you will save money by not
having to take taxis everywhere.
- Why doesn't
this site have an email address?
Anne Marie prefers speaking with you about something
as important and personal as your wedding or Marriage Vow Renewal
service.
- What does your
$400 package include?
All pre-wedding consultations. Phone Anne Marie
as often as you like. She pays for the calls.
Wedding ceremony at the place and time of your
choice.
Certified copy of License and Certificate of marriage.
Personalized guidance by a twenty seven year resident
of St. John who really cares.
- What is the
difference in what you do and what a wedding planner does?
I put you directly in touch with people who will
be so important on your wedding day (photographer,
videographer, florist, musician, caterer, etc, etc.) so you can
speak to them and their fees are not inflated, as they are
by if booked by a wedding planner.
- What should
we do now?
Mail payment to confirm your reservation with Anne
Marie.
Apply for your marriage license.
Relax.
The
fee of $400 includes all consultations, and marriage ceremony at the
time and place of your choice, and certified copy of license and certificate
of marriage.
